Saturday's Inspirational Challenge

The challenge for today was to be inspired by The Felt Garden
I used Artfully Asian From SU as the background for my card. I love the saying.
Enjoy and have a great Day!!

Limited Supply Challenge=Acrylics Only

This is Dr. Pea-Nut from a brand new company OUR CRAFT LOUNGE
I am so proud of the new owners and wish them well...Cambria, Joy, Marianne, and Kim...
Good luck ladies








I am not even sure where I bought this stamp, but Until I found COPICS I never liked how it turned out. I used circle scallops from nesties for the circles.




My Supply of Acrylic stamps is sooo limited. I think I have 3 sets
This one is from CTMH called Always Remember. This is also for the WSC66 of Beate'

Water Colors Challenge

The challenge was to use watercolor paper in some form or another. Here are my entries.

This is Holy Triptych from SU. All watercolor is completed with Reinkers and Aqua Painters





The following is a stamp that my niece Cambria (Stamp a little Love Baby!) gave to me. I used shimmerz to highlight the heart balloons




This is called Summer in the sun bu SU and I used watercolor crayons from SU with an aqua painter...The background was created using crayons and aqua painters. I live in Oregon and we do have beautiful sunsets.

My Dad....EXPIRED 11/11/06



I want to take a minute to remember my Dad on this the anniversary of his death.

He was one of the kindest men I have ever known. There are a lot of things that I could say about Dad, but I think the most important is that HE NEVER LIED TO ME. He was always there as a support, no matter how badly I had screwed up. He and Mom put their life on hold to help me when I had a horrible car wreck. When it came time for Dad to retire and he and Mom to travel...They were taking care of my disabled child because I couldn't. He love to fish and camp and the most important thing in his life was his sweetie ( my mom) that he met on his 16th birthday. They were married for almost 60 years when he died....November 11, 2006......Rest in Peace Pops...Know you are Missed Everyday.

SplitCoast Challenges


These were made as part of the inspirational challenge. These were a lot of fun to make.


These cards were made for the Sketch Challenge using only circles and rectangles. It was a fun challenge I used two stamps from the set called Holiday Lineup from Stampin' Up!

Friday, November 7, 2008

During this last week I have been really busy making all kinds of cards. I was able to attend a get together of our group InkforBrains. It is made up of SUDemos that have Cambria as their upline. We are all so blessed to know this wonderfully talented stamper and awesome person.



I am totally convinced that I am addicted to stamping as I traveled over 400 miles to stamp for 4 hours.

The challenge was to use a stamp that is meant to be one thing and make it appears as something else. The stamp that I used for the Turkey are Pick A Petal. I thought he was sorta cute by the time I got finished with him.
